Description
A Sunday Times bestseller that cuts through contemporary confusion with clarity and compassion.
Helen Joyce examines the collision between ideology and biological reality, exploring why societies have abandoned sex as a foundational concept and what this means for women's safety and privacy.
Praised by leading critics for its reasoned approach, this book offers a much-needed perspective on one of today's most contentious debates. Joyce combines expert analysis with genuine sympathy, presenting arguments that challenge prevailing orthodoxy without resorting to dismissal or extremism.
Essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the tensions reshaping our institutions, language, and understanding of sex and gender.
"In the first decade of this century, it was unthinkable that a gender-critical book could even be published by a prominent publishing house, let alone become a bestseller." Louise Perry, New Statesman.
